Some Miss Universe Canada supporters complain of transgender spotlight
TORONTO - A transgender contender at Miss Universe Canada is unfairly taking the spotlight away from other contestants, complained friends and relatives of some rivals as the race began with swimsuit and evening gown events Thursday.
Wannabe beauty queen Jenna Talackova has dominated media attention for weeks, starting with her high-profile fight to enter the contest even though she was born male.
The leggy blond from Vancouver underwent a sex change operation four years ago and is the first transgender contestant to compete for the title of Miss Universe Canada.
Supporters of some other competitors complained during intermission that Talackova's sensational story has overshadowed worthy challengers.

Wat vinden jullie hiervan als zo'n vrouw geweigerd wordt? (En ja, het is een vrouw als zij zich zo ziet en om heeft laten bouwen)

Psychologically she was a female since birth (mentally and neurological structure) and now her hormones and body reflect that.
Who are you to judge what is a woman and what is a man? Who cares if she enters the beauty pageant? She's a decent looking person.
